Service calls require multiple return visits because refrigerant charge is not set using proper subcooling targets, leading to persistent system performance issues.
Current approach relies on rule-of-thumb pressure checks rather than systematic subcooling-based charging, causing repeated callbacks and customer dissatisfaction.

Workarounds Described
- Boss adds refrigerant based on pressure and line sweating instead of subcooling
- Helper manually adds ounces while watching pressure fluctuate without diagnostic tool
Implied Software Gaps
- Guided charging procedure with real-time subcooling calculation
- Pressure fluctuation diagnostic tool to identify system issues during charging
App Concept
SubCool Pro
A mobile app that guides technicians through refrigerant charging using real-time subcooling targets. Calculates target subcooling from equipment specs, recommends charge adjustments, and logs pressure data to diagnose fluctuations. Prevents guesswork and reduces callbacks.
Key Features
- Enter equipment model to get manufacturer subcooling target
- Real-time pressure and temperature monitoring via Bluetooth probes
- Step-by-step charge adjustment recommendations
- Auto-log of readings for service history and trend analysis
Target Users: HVAC field technicians and helpers at small to medium-sized service companies
Revenue Model: $19/month per user subscription with a 14-day free trial
